hi all, just joined, awsome site, how is everyone?

Ive FINALLY! bought a skyline (well ive signed for and the finance has been approved), ive been saving for sooo long and craping on about them for ages.

After work on friday nite i went down to the caryard with my $9000 deposit (cost $22500) to pick it up, but the idiot finance dude forgot to tell me i had to have paid 12 months proved insurance, which i had just paid for 6 months (Famous), o well itll be sorted, on monday, DAMMIT i want it NOW!

My mates tim and nigel bought around a skyline on friday to work, which a local car yard had just got in, so i checked it out and then pretty much bought it straight away, all signed, finance approved same day. Its absolutly awsome, i love it! Thanks Tim im sorry your wife jen wouldnt let you have it. :(

Skyline =

01/95 (compliance 01/03) R33 GTS-T Nissan Skyline (Series 2?) (RB25DET) 5 speed manual, HICAS 4 wheel steering (rare for model?), full body kit, central locking alarm connected to a turbo timer, its white, perfect body, interior is immaculate, darkish tint, real? nismo carbonfibre bits around the windows, it also has 18 INCH MAGS!!!!, all options, rear wiper, all electrics, climate control, CD + Stacker and its only done 55000kms (well on the clock neway) and also the best thing is the motor is UNTOUCHED everything is original (left for us to play with), except an added GFB BOV, its even still got the STOCK exhaust and air filter assembly + stock suspension, so its hopefully unlikely to be a drift/drag car from jap land, we had it up on the hoist at work and there is NO visible damage at all, not even curb scraps anywere underneith.

ive kept some money to the side + ill save up a bit too, cause i have a lot of mods to do, starting from scratch.

i was just wondering what the mags were i hadnt seen them before?, there 18s

+ any hints, tips and past skyline experiances would be greatly appreciated, cheers

cant wait to check out everyone elses machines

thats an S1

s1.5 has s1 front and s2 back...or vice versa.....but this one has s1 front and rear.....i think s1.5 is late 95..and since urs is bought in jan..den i think its an s1!!

but anyhowz very nice car..im in the process oflookin for one too...i can get an s1 now..but ive decided to wait a bit more..get another 2k? ..jus enuf for an s2.....congrats on the new car and hopefully i can own 1 soon too hehe

that looks like a series 1.5 to me....from wat i know they dont come in a series 2 back just the rear spoiler and front bar but the skyline garnish is still series 1. check ur engine to see if its a series 2 engine and see if ur boot lock thing is the series 2 one...then ull know:D:D:D i have a series 1.5 too.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but the HICAS is factory standard :P

Also, be wary of the "untouched" engine, it's not uncommon for mildly modded cars to be returned to stock before selling. You can make more money on them that way usually. I wouldn't worry either way though, the engine and gearbox are bulletproof.

Def. Series 1. That wing was an option. The headlights, rear badging, bootlock all scream S1.

Looks fairly clean inside.

You paid a lot for a stock series 1 though.

One of the first things *I* would do if I just bought that car would be remove the piece of shit aftermarket blow off valve and use the stock one. Unless there is something wrong with the stock one.

Oh and the Nismo carbon fibre around the window are probably real. The same ones are for sale at UAS (http://www.uniqueautosports.com.au/priceli...elist_nismo.htm)

Looks exactly like mine - except the colour :-)

To check if you got series 2 bits, you can look for:

- If there's a black box sitting up the rear of the motor about 3 inches square, S1 part. S2 doesn't have this.

- Underneath the air snorkel (lol!), count the wires coming out of the AFM. 3 wires = S2, 4 / 5 wires = S1.

I think there's also something to do with positioning of the fuel regulators, but don't quote me on that.

And yeah, if it's got a turbo, it's got 4 wheel steering :)

Looks nice all up :)

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
